SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT
With Sustainability being on top of the agenda for most organisations and travel buyers, it is important for hospitality businesses to consider the social, human, economic and environmental aspect of their operations and long-term strategies and make decisions which benefit the society and minimize the negative impact on the environment.
To support hotels with their ESG strategies, GHS has partnered with companies who invest in people and planet to meet an essential set of criteria to be qualified as “Sustainable suppliers”.
The products and services they offer provide environmental, social and economic benefit while protecting the community and environment.
